Outside Tap Installation in Mere , Wiltshire

We believe in straightforward, transparent workmanship. When you book an outside tap installation with us, our process is designed to provide a long-lasting and reliable outdoor plumbing solution without any unnecessary disruption to your home.Site Assessment: We help you identify the most practical location, usually on an external wall directly behind your existing kitchen or utility room pipework.Safe Pipe Routing: We carefully drill through your exterior masonry, routing the cold water supply securely to the outside.Internal Isolation Valve: We install an internal isolation valve, allowing you to easily shut off the water supply to your garden during freezing weather.Fitting the Tap: We secure a high-quality, durable brass bib-tap to your exterior brickwork, ensuring a watertight finish that will not leak or loosen over time.

When dealing with outdoor plumbing, safety and local regulatory compliance are our absolute top priorities. Any tap connected to your main water supply must meet the strict standards set by the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme (WRAS).Crucially, every outside tap we install features a double check valve. This acts as an essential backflow prevention device. If a hosepipe is left submerged in a garden pond or a bucket and there is a sudden drop in water pressure, the double check valve stops contaminated water from being siphoned back into your clean, domestic drinking water supply. As experts holding Plumbing Part 1 and 2 qualifications, we guarantee that all our installations strictly adhere to these vital water safety regulations.

Wiltshire winters often bring hard frosts that pose a significant risk to outdoor pipework. Water left sitting inside an outside tap or exposed pipework can freeze and expand, frequently leading to cracked pipes and stressful emergency leaks.To protect your property, we design every installation with winter safety in mind. By fitting an easily accessible internal isolation valve as standard, you can simply drain the outside tap before the first frost hits. We also install robust frost-proof taps for additional peace of mind. If you have an older tap that has already suffered frost damage, our team is always on hand for rapid burst pipe repairs and isolation valve replacements.
